3 weeks wrong humidity.

Hey everyone,
I have 3 pf-tek cakes they were 95% colonized I would say I birthed them 3 weeks ago in a big terrarium without holes. I wasnt able to get the humidity high I used to get some hot-warmish water in glasses and place them inside there - short effect on humidity.
That cakes were in that place for 3 weeks after I build a SGFC . Ahhh before I forget in 2 week (14 days) I started misting some heavier and they became blue at some spots (I think bruising).
Now I took them rerolled and redunked them for 4 hours and placed them in the SGFC with perfect humidity and perfect temperature :O they stay there for 3 days now still no sign of pinning - I give them fresh air my window is opened all day long :P
What is your opinion? Let them stay there or birth some new jars in a month? :P
SHORT VERSION: - USED WRONG TERRARIUM WITH BAD HUMIDITY CONDITIONS - THAT CAKES STAYED THERE FOR 3 WEEKS - AFTER 2 WEEK I MISTED THEY BECAME BLUE DUE WATERDROPS (bruising I think) - NOW AFTER 3 WEEKS THEY ARE 3 DAYS IN A SGFC AFTER I REDUNKED REROLLED THEM .... THEY SMELLD LIKE FRESH FRUIT BODY
Tell me your opinions ahh and sorry for caps

yeah the SGFC works like a charm I would recommend this to everyone 
You think they have a chance to fruit? or shall I throw them 
Im not sure if its worth to let them stay in there , no progress at all 
but I know what I done wrong - still I dont wanna wait :'(

Birthed at 95%, why come? Keep misting and fanning the shit out of them. Check your tek on proper jar consolidation.

since they smelled like fresh fruits when I rerolled them I was sure they gonna bring me some fruits someday, but that blue spots (only on top) made me thinking :/
but its bruising fer sure :PPP
best community here no joke , but too much posts like mine :P
----------------------------------------------------------------
I started with crappy setup and found out later thats even better to wait 1 week before fruiting to get the best mycelium. I made some mistakes 
But I found out what I done wrong , everything . My tek should work now and nexttime - it was my first time :P

We're they stalled or why'd you birth at 95%?
Let them stay or make some new jar? Both. Get some new jars ready so shortly after they are done fruiting you have some more to go in the FC.

I wouldn't say wrong, I'd say tall. When I did jars all I could get were those dammed tall ones. I just filled with substrate halfway up and filled the rest with dry verm. Needle still got down to the cake and they knocked up fine.
Tall jars filled up with a small layer take forever to complete, and do stall.

^^^^^ Ived tried the same thing with the tall jars. Seemed like they didn't get enough gas exchange with all that dry verm on top, but it can be done. I should've made the holes bigger to compensate for that I guess. But the short widemouths definitely work much better for PF tek.

any jar you can sterilize or PC that is as wide as it is tall and around 1/2 pint in volume will work.

they don't sterilize they just remove gunk from things that are hard to clean, besides the second you take anything out of the ultrasonic cleaner it wont be sterile anymore.
